Society is a social media network mobile application designed for iOS and Android platforms, with a primary focus on media sharing and fostering genuine human interaction. The project began with an idea and a few wireframes provided by the client. Together, we designed and developed the iOS native app, chat server, video transcoding pipeline, web API, Admin Dashboard, and presentation website.
Our Approach
At HyperSense, we partnered with the client to transform their initial idea and wireframes into a fully functional mobile application, while maintaining a strong focus on UI/UX, microinteractions, and product development and consultancy.
Idea to Technology: Our collaboration began with refining the client's wireframes and incorporating their vision into the app's design and functionality.
UI/UX Design and Microinteractions: We prioritized creating an engaging and intuitive user experience by carefully designing the app's interface and incorporating microinteractions that would enhance its functionality and user engagement.
Product Development and Consultancy: Our team worked on various aspects of the project, including mobile app development, backend and web API, video transcoding and CDN on AWS, scalable chat server, Admin Dashboard, and presentation website. We also provided consultancy services throughout the project, ensuring that the client's goals and expectations were met at each stage of development.

- Media sharing and social networking: Encouraging users to share and interact with various forms of media, fostering meaningful connections;
- Advanced UI/UX and microinteractions: Delivering a visually appealing and intuitive user experience that keeps users engaged;

UI/UX Design and Microinteractions
Creating an outstanding user experience for Society was one of our top priorities. We aimed to develop a visually appealing interface that would foster genuine human interaction while keeping users engaged through the use of microinteractions. Our focus on UI/UX design and microinteractions included the following aspects:
- Design principles and goals: We adopted a user-centric approach in designing Society, striving for a visually appealing and user-friendly interface that would encourage genuine connections. Our primary goal was to create an app that would be both enjoyable to use and provide meaningful experiences to its users.
- User interface: We carefully crafted the app's user interface, considering each element's placement and appearance to ensure a seamless and visually cohesive experience. The use of colors, typography, and iconography was meticulously chosen to create a modern and appealing look that would resonate with users.
- User experience: Our focus on user experience was to make it easy for users to navigate the app, discover content, and interact with others. By incorporating features such as intuitive navigation, personalized content feeds, and easy-to-use media sharing tools, we aimed to create an enjoyable experience for users while minimizing any potential friction points.
- Microinteractions: To further enhance user engagement, we incorporated a variety of microinteractions throughout the app. These small yet impactful interactions, such as animations, visual feedback, and gesture-based controls, not only add delight to the user experience but also make the app feel more responsive and intuitive. Microinteractions played a crucial role in creating a sense of connection and satisfaction for users while they interact with various features within the app, ultimately leading to increased user engagement and retention.
By focusing on UI/UX design and microinteractions, we were able to create a visually appealing and engaging app that fosters genuine human interaction and keeps users coming back for more. Our approach to designing Society ensured that users would have a positive experience while using the app, resulting in higher adoption rates and long-lasting user satisfaction.
